★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 341 reviews · 6 - 7 hours · from $115

Travel privately from Aswan to Luxor by air-conditioned car, stopping at Kom Ombo and Edfu. Your Egyptologist guides explain temple scenes, gods, and hieroglyphs, while your driver handles the long road journey. The route is a smart alternative to a Nile cruise, though traffic and rough roads can extend the day.

“We really love this tour! Our driver was very professional and courteous! Driving was smooth and safe. The car was clean and comfortable, with really good AC! We also loved the two tour guides at the two temples. They were able to explain all the history and hieroglyphs to us, really knowledgeable and professional. This is my favourite tour in Egypt so far! The journey allowed us to see the rural life of people here, so definitely something you cannot see on the cruise. I really recommend everyone to go on this tour.”
